True Story

Back in 2007, when I was a page at NBC, I had a plum assignment at SNL.  As a result, I am now really annoying to watch the show with.

"That sketch must be on stage 3!" 

"That wig was designed by Louie Zakarian."

"Oh my god I just heard the stage manager's voice, that's totally Gina."

"Did you know SNL's the only show without a seven-second tape delay?  Holla!"

Etc.

Anyway, I thought I would share my best story, because I was just watching some (hilarious) Stefon clips with Bill Hader and oh, my lord, do I have a doozy of a Bill Hader anecdote.  So, here's my juiciest tidbit from my three-month stint at SNL.  


I was down on the 8th floor, right by the entrance to the stage, looking for some rundowns.  I backed up a little bit and stepped on someone's foot.  I turned around.  It was Bill Hader.

"I'm..." I began to stammer out an apology.

"Oh I'm so sorry!" he said.  "Sorry!  Sorry!"

Then he walked down the hall.

See?

Scandalous.

I hope he becomes the most successful man in the world.
